Hello everyone! 😊

Welcome to the Community Center! 👋  I'm @Elisa , one of the Community Managers for our English Community Center along with my lovely team members @Quincy @Paula @Rebecca @Bhumika @Alex @Emilie and we are thrilled to have you join us.

Let's kickstart this thread with a little about us Community Managers:

@Quincy : I'm from the Netherlands 🇳🇱 I have been on the Community Center for 7+ years, and have been an Airbnb Host myself. I love cycling🚲, playing football⚽, and travelling🌏 . I love how dynamic and diverse the Community Center is as we meet Hosts from all around the globe. 

@Bhumika :  🌍 I was born in Gujarat, India 🇮🇳 , and shifted to Toronto, Canada 🇨🇦 last year! 📷 I recently realized my love for photography and aesthetics. I love to capture mundane life and candid pictures. 🌆 When I'm not working, you'll find me binge-watching thriller movies or exploring history.

@Paula : I am from Colombia 🇨🇴 and currently living in British Columbia, Canada 🇨🇦. I have a passion for Latin American culture (I love to dance 💃) . I've had the opportunity to visit around 20 countries 🌎 and plan to visit many more. In my free time, I enjoy outdoor activities, especially mountain biking 🚲 and hiking 🏔.

@Rebecca : I'm from Cardiff in Wales originally but being a military child and a veterans spouse, I've travelled and lived in a lot of different places in the UK and Europe. I'm an environmentalist 🌿 and like to minimise my impact on the planet 🌎 as well as volunteering in my local community.  I love sea swimming 🌊 yoga on the beach 🧘‍ and I'm a children's yoga instructor too! 🙌 

@Elisa : I was born in Italy 🇮🇹 and as a lover of unique experiences—from exploring the streets of Rome🇮🇹 , Paris 🇫🇷, and Toronto 🇨🇦 to appreciating timeless art and cuisine—I'm here to blend the old with the new. 

@Alex : I'm originally from Spain 🇪🇸, but my passion for traveling made me move to Toronto🇨🇦 this year to explore the culture and add another unforgettable experience to my journey ✈️. I'm also passionate about all kinds of sports ⚽️ (especially football, in which I played at a semi-professional level) and love to discover new dishes everywhere I go. 🥘

@Emilie : I was born in France 🇫🇷, raised in French Polynesia 🌺 and Morocco 🇲🇦, and have settled in the UK for 14 years now! On evenings and weekends, you will find me spending time with my dog, working on a jigsaw, or trying my hand at some new cuisine. 🍲

Now it's your turn! Tell us a bit about yourself. Where are you from? And is there something special about the location of your accommodation that you'd like to share?

Looking forward to getting to know you all!

Warm regards🌻,

Elisa

Hi @Elisa ,

Yes, both the host and the guest were very happy at the end of their stay. So we both gave each other good feedback. 

The second airbnb guest is arriving 4th of July. For now, I am getting more inquiries from other sites other than airbnb.

Thank you,

Kind regards

Martin

Hi @Hossam44 😊, 

Welcome to the Community Center!

How is this experience going for you so far?

I’m glad you’d like to receive some advice and recommendations.

Would you like to be more specific about the topic?

Warm regards 🌻,

[Mahmoud227]

My Name is Mahmoud. Originally from Alexandria, Egypt, but lived in South Florida for the past 30 years. New to Airbnb (only 2 month old). I have 3 listings. I'm interested to be hooked up with other hosts in South Florida to co-host theirs. I'm expanding my operation to Mediterranean Northern Cost of Egypt market soon. 

[Rebecca]

Hello @Mahmoud227 👋  It's lovely to e-meet you - welcome to the Community Center.

Alexandria must be quite different from South Florida! You’ve jumped right in with three listings!  There’s a pretty active host community in South Florida. Have you tried joining any Local Host Clubs? 

[Shannon1215]

Hello - I am from Boundary Bay, which is in Delta, B.C., Canada - Thanks for having me!

[Rebecca]

Hello @Shannon1215 👋

Welcome to the Community Center. Boundary Bay looks like a lovely spot (I searched it up). I bet you get some wonderful sunsets. Do you host by the bay or a bit further inland? 

[Younes165]

Hi! I’m Younes from Marrakech 🇲🇦 I love hosting, meeting people, and learning from others around the world 🌍 Happy to be part of this amazing community! 😊

[Rebecca]

Hello @Younes165 👋

It's lovely to have you here with us. Marrakech must be a fascinating place to host. I've always wanted to visit because there is so much history and colour. What’s your favourite thing about meeting guests from different places? 😊

Hi @StriveStays0 😊, 

Welcome to the Community Center!

60 listings is a great achievement, well done! 😍

Are you hosting full-time? What do you enjoy most about it?

Warm regards 🌻,

Hi my name is Jennifer from Scotland. I am new to hosting and me and my husband's house in Vatersay, Isle of Barra, in Scotland is about to go live. We are nervous because we hope that people will like it and we get good reviews.
